Liz Cheney’s pathetic political career is hanging by a thread and the last thing she needs to do is be embarrassed by Trump on national TV during primetime.
So it’s no surprise at all that she told leftist media on Sunday that she would not consider President Trump’s testimony to be aired live on television. This same committee wouldn’t allow any non-rhino Republicans to join in efforts to make this hearing as one sided as possible.
They have refused to acknowledge the violent FBI and government operatives. They have also failed to call on Pelosi to explain why she refused the National Guard but set up a special camera crew to trail her that day.
AOL reported:
Raising the stakes on its extraordinary subpoena to Donald Trump, the House committee investigating the Capitol riot indicated Sunday it would not consider letting the former president testify live on television about the direct role that congressional investigators say he played in trying to overturn the 2020 election.
The committee is demanding Trump’s testimony under oath next month as well as records relevant to its investigation. To avoid a complicated and protracted legal battle, Trump reportedly had told associates he might consider complying with the subpoena if he could answer questions during live testimony.
But Rep. Liz Cheney, the committee’s vice chair, on Sunday rejected the possibility. She said the committee, which makes its major decisions with unanimous consent, would not allow Trump’s testimony to turn into a “food fight” on TV and she warned that the committee will take action if he does not comply with the subpoena.
“We are going to proceed in terms of the questioning of the former president under oath,” Cheney, R-Wyo., said on “Meet the Press” on NBC. “It may take multiple days, and it will be done with a level of rigor and discipline and seriousness that it deserves. We are not going to allow — he’s not going to turn this into a circus.”
